Description: | PAS-RC07Grid F4Thirteen sherds from Severn Valley coarseware pottery vessels, including one rim. As the fabric, colour and thickness differs in each sherd it is likely that different vessels are represented in the assemblage. Not enough survives of the sherds to indicate the form or overall vessel size. The sherds date from the Roman period (50 - 410).All the sherds are irregular in plan and broadly sub-rectangular in profile. The sherds are also worn and abraded by movement in the ploughsoil. The fabric is a relatively soft fired earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular black grit (possibly coal measure rock / coal) and sparse quartz inclusions. The fabric is also mica rich. The colour of the fabric varies but is broadly a uniform mid orange to orange-brown colour. These sherds vary in thickness and most probably represent cooking and storage vessels. One sherd appears to have burnishing on one surface, however, it is too small to be diagnostic.The rim measures 43 mm in length, 20.5 mm in width, 10.7 mm in thickness and weighs 8 grams. It has a diameter of c. 12 cm, however, since less than 5% survives, it is not accurate.The largest sherd measures 36.2mm in length, 32.7 mm in width, 7.8 mm in thickness and weighs 10 grams.The smallest sherd measures 10.7 mm in length, 7.2 mm in width, 3 mm in thickness and weighs 0.3 grams.The bulk weight is 33.8 grams.
